JD Cash was Glen and Kathy Wilburn's CIA assigned handler. Hoppy 
Heidelberg, the defrocked Okbomb grand juror who refused to play 
ball with the government in the case, has reiterated this in his 
interviews. When I first joined this group back in June 2001, My 
very first post was regarding this matter.

Pathetic!

Another suicide or another 
  cover-up?Lawyer makes the case that his brother 
  was tortured, murdered in federal prison
  

  
  By Sarah 
  Foster
  
© 1997 WorldNetDaily.com 
  In another life, Kenneth Trentadue had been a bank robber. After 
  serving seven years of a 20-year sentence, he was paroled in 1988 and, as 
  ex-cons are supposed to do, tried to put his criminal past behind him. He 
  got a job with a construction firm, married, and in June, 1995, became the 
  proud father of a son. By all appearances, Trentadue, 44, had successfully 
  turned his life around and had everything to live for. 
  
  But he had one problem -- a minor parole violation on his record from 
  1989. The law caught up with him a month after his son's birth, and he was 
  arrested. On Aug. 18 he was flown from the Metropolitan Correctional 
  Center in San Diego to the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, a 
  major facility of the Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons, to await his 
  hearing. According to family members, he wasn't worried. At most his 
  sentence would be six months, more likely, three. He'd probably be home 
  for Christmas. 
  
  The Federal Transfer Center is a new, $80 million high-tech facility at 
  the edge of Will Rogers World Airport. It's not only the transfer point 
  for prisoners being taken to penitentiaries in the federal prison system, 
  it also houses the parole board and hearing rooms. 
  
  Like everyone who is admitted into the prison system, Kenneth underwent 
  routine psychological tests to determine if he had suicidal tendencies. 
  The results indicated he didn't. Nevertheless, he was placed, for some 
  unknown reason, in a specially designed, suicide-proof cell in a special 
  unit on the seventh floor that's segregated from the general prison 
  population. A form bearing the signature Vance Brockway -- an lais he used 
  in his bank robbery days -- indicates he asked to be placed in protective 
  custody. Family members say it was a forgery. 
  
  On Aug. 21, 1995, Trentadue died in that isolation cell. Officials 
  promptly declared the death a suicide. Trentadue, who was scheduled for a 
  parole hearing, hanged himself from an air vent using a 23-inch length of 
  braid he fashioned from a bedsheet, according to prison officials. The 
  following day the Inspector General's Office of the Justice Department 
  ruled that no "prosecutable federal crime had occurred." 
  
  Two years later, that's still the official government line despite a 
  staggering amount of evidence indicating Trentadue was murdered. 
  
  Kenneth's mother, Wilma Trentadue of Westminster, Calif., was the first 
  family member to learn of his death. The phone call from acting warden 
  Marie Carter came at 6:40 a.m., informing her that her son had committed 
  suicide a few hours earlier, sometime between 9 p.m. the night before and 
  3 a.m. that morning. Carter offered to have the body cremated at prison 
  expense. Suspicious, Mrs. Trentadue said she'd consult Kenneth's wife and 
  his brother, Jesse Trentadue, a Salt Lake City attorney. 
  
  Wife? Brother? Prison records didn't show he was married. Nor was there 
  any record of his having a trial lawyer -- a former law professor -- for a 
  brother. The records listed his mother and sister as his only family. 
  
  Jesse Trentadue was as suspicious as his mother. No cremation, he said, 
  and directed the body be sent to a funeral parlor near Kenneth's home in 
  Westminster. It was five days before the casket arrived. Kenneth's face 
  was covered with an unusually thick coating of pancake makeup. His broad, 
  six-foot frame had been dressed in a suit. 
  
  "They (Kenneth's mother, his wife Carmen, and sister Donna) scraped off 
  the makeup and found he was bruised from the top of his head to the soles 
  of his feet," says George Hansen, former seven-term Republican congressman 
  from Idaho and founder of the U.S. Citizens Commission on Human Rights -- 
  a newly-formed grass-roots organization which has been working closely 
  with the Trentadue family. "An autopsy showed he had been garrotted -- 
  probably with the braided sheet. His throat was cut and torn out. His head 
  was smashed in three places. He had been burned on the face, shoulders and 
  tailbone with an electrical stun-gun. Under his arms were deep bruises 
  showing how he had been held while others beat up on him. There was blood 
  all over the place, according to the guy that had to clean it up 
  afterwards.

OKC BOMBING FALLOUTAgent: Feds told of threats to blow buildingsJudge had sealed woman's testimony regarding Oklahoma City
blast

Posted: November 10, 20051:00 a.m.
Eastern

By J.D.
Cash

Unearthed by a Salt Lake City, Utah, attorney, statements made by a
Tulsa Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms agent in a federal courtroom
confirm that a confidential informant did warn the agency of plans to bomb
federal buildings before the attack in Oklahoma City that left 168 dead
and hundreds more injured.
Moreover, a federal judge in Oklahoma ordered that the information be
kept sealed because of its potential impact on the trial of bomber Timothy
McVeigh, records show.

Civil attorney Jesse Trentadue submitted as an exhibit a transcript
from a 1997 federal court proceeding in Tulsa that contains admissions by
a BATF agent that she had prior warning of a bomb plot being discussed
inside a right-wing paramilitary compound in eastern Oklahoma called
Elohim City.
The information emerges now because in May of this year a federal judge
in a Utah Freedom of Information case ordered the Oklahoma City FBI office
to surrender all responsive documents requested by Trentadue without
redactions. The FBI has been fighting the order ever since.
As part of that suit, Trentadue on Friday responded to the FBI's
delivery to the judge of just under 100 pages of documents related to a
little-known undercover operation involving the Southern Poverty Law
Center, or SPLC; the FBI; and the $85 million OKBOMB investigation.
In presenting the documents under seal to the court, lawyers for the
Department of Justice once again argued that the identity of certain SPLC
informants and others along with important details of the undercover
operation involving McVeigh and the far right should be kept secret from
the public.
Almost since the day of the bombing, there has been considerable
information emerging that various law enforcement agencies had
intelligence pointing to a bomb plot by McVeigh and others well ahead of
the attack.
Federal officials have consistently denied that they had evidence of a
pending attack.
Questions immediately surfaced after the bombing as to why there were
no BATF field agents on duty at the building the morning terrorists
struck. The Oklahoma City office had over a dozen employees assigned to
the ninth floor office. However, none was killed and only two auditors
were treated for injuries afterward.
Responding to press inquiries, the BATF at the time of the bombing said
most of their agents had been out the night before on a surveillance
operation and had slept in.
Trentadue has obtained a 1997 transcript from a Tulsa federal court
case that casts doubt on BATF claims that the agency had no advance
warning of an Oklahoma City bombing.
The 1997 case involved a Tulsa BATF contract informant who stood
accused, along with a boyfriend, of making bomb threats in 1996.
With no media present, Carol E. Howe's BATF handler, Angela
Finley-Graham, responded to questions from Howe's attorney, Clark
Brewster, about her work for the agency.
In particular, Finley-Graham was asked whether Howe had warned the BATF
in 1994 and 1995 that Andreas Strassmeir and others at Elohim City were
plotting to bomb an Oklahoma federal building in the spring of 1995.
The transcript of Graham's testimony includes this exchange:

Brewster: And Ms. Howe told you about Mr. Strassmeir's
threats to blow up federal buildings, didn't she?
Graham: In general, yes.
Brewster: And that was before the Oklahoma City bombing?
Graham: Yes.
During the proceeding, Graham also acknowledged that she was aware Howe
traveled to Oklahoma City with members of the radical group before the
attack and had later reported the incident. Upon her return to Tulsa, Howe
was debriefed and then taken to Oklahoma City to show Graham the areas she
visited with the individuals who were part of a wide-ranging terrorist
investigation that was receiving substantial funding and attention in
Washington, D.C.
At the conclusion of Graham's testimony, the judge in the case was
encouraged by Justice Department prosecutors to order Howe's attorney not
to turn the information over to bombing defense attorneys for McVeigh,

[cia-drugs] Akha Journal: Photography Done, Web Site Improvements, Donations???

2005-11-10 Thread Matthew McDaniel

Dear Friends: We have finished the bulk of the photo work we need to do for the moment and now need to develop a lot of film. We are going to need some donations to get this done. All the photos will be put up at http://www.akha.org About 1500 pics. You will be able to see first hand the human cost of the US Drug War against the Akha. We would also like to point out churches in the US that support the removal of Akha children and the destruction of Akha culture such as Ajay and Nancy are engaged in at the Akha Outreach Services, all white washed in "Jesus talk Jargon", now they even host "Missionary Tours" and push orphans who are not orphans. Nancy said in an interview that they take the children away because the parents are involved in drugs, well maybe she hasn't read about US Missionary CIA man Bill
Young who helped fly all the CIA's heroin out of Luang Namtha, Laos as published in the Laos Lonely Planet? http://www.fbci.org/lifenet/missions/shorttrips05.html#Thailand The website continues to offer improved searches and access to content, as well as new content. We are running around 5,000 hits many days. The website is not free to make, though it is free to view, so we would hope that donations would improve. Your donation will be posted to the left side of the website within a day of when it is made generally. You can see our budget for the month and what has come in. The Google box is improved, but still needs some more tweak. I am working with a number of people to make it possible to more easily see news content that is in the archive. But currently the www.akha.org Google search on the site is quite good. The content for the Akha Journal #3 is done, I have to glue it all together now. This is the work we do and the product we produce. This is how information about the Akha people gets out. Please make a donation to support the website and this work.

[cia-drugs] Venezuela Chavez Calls Fox `Puppy of Empire' in Row (Update1)







http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=1086&sid=axYzAMZUa0ZU&refer=latin_america

Venezuela Chavez Calls Fox `Puppy of
Empire' in Row (Update1)

Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Mexican
President Vicente Fox was a ``puppy of the empire'' for supporting the
U.S.-sponsored free trade agreement for the Americas at a summit last
week in Argentina.

Chavez's comments late last night during a televised address stepped up
a diplomatic dispute since the gathering of Americas leader in Mar del
Plata, Argentina. Argentine leaders, including President Nestor
Kirchner, also have lashed out against Fox.

``Fox's surrender is sad,'' Chavez said. ``How sad it is to give
yourself up to be a puppy of the empire.'' Venezuelan Foreign Minister
Ali Rodriguez said in an interview with Union Radio today that
Venezuela's ambassador to Mexico was called in to explain the
president's remarks.

Chavez, 51, spoke to a rally at the summit of thousands of protesters
opposed to U.S. President George W. Bush and his trade initiative,
calling the proposal ``dead.'' Chavez said a free trade pact spanning
the hemisphere would benefit only U.S. companies and extend U.S.
influence over the region.

Rodriguez said Chavez's remarks were justified, given Fox's criticism
of the Venezuelan president and Kirchner at the summit.

`Aggressive'

``Fox made aggressive statements against Venezuela and Argentina,''
Rodriguez said. ``You wouldn't expect a different response from Chavez
and Kirchner.''

Venezuela still wants to maintain good relations with Mexico, Rodriguez
said. Trade between the two countries totaled about $1.2 billion last
year, according to the Venezuelan Mexican Trade Association in Caracas.

Bush, in a speech in Brazil after the summit, addressed his critics in
his Brasilia speech without mentioning Chavez by name, saying the
region had two visions to choose from.

``One offers a vision of hope,'' Bush said in the speech. The ``other
seeks to roll back the democratic process of the past two decades by
playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others
for their own failure to provide for their people.''

Kirchner, in a Nov. 8 rally outside Buenos Aires, said Fox ``should
worry about Mexico'' and not meddle in Argentine affairs after the
Mexican president criticized the host of the summit for not helping
leaders reach a consensus on trade and other issues.

John Tanner (D-Tenn.),a leader of the Blue Dog Coalition and member of the House Ways andMeans Committee."The financial mismanagement of our country by the Bush Administrationshould be of concern to all Americans, regardless of politicalpersuasion," said Tanner in a press release.Earlier this year, the Blue Dog Coalition unveiled a 12-step plan to"cure" the nation's "addiction to deficit spending." It includedrequiring all federal agencies to pass clean audits, a balanced budget,and the establishment of a rainy day fund for use in emergenciesspecifically a natural disaster."No American political leadership has ever willfully and deliberatelymortgaged our country to foreign interests in the manner we havewitnessed over the past four years," said Tanner.

[cia-drugs] FBI may be checking on you, but you have no way to know







FBI may be checking on you, but 
you have no way to know
USA Today | November 9 2005
These days, Americans suspected of no 
wrongdoing can suddenly find themselves caught up in FBI surveillance 
operations.
It's as easy as saying "national security 
letter."
Using this little-noticed but potent tool, the 
FBI can demand, for example, that an Internet provider, bank or phone company 
turn over records of who you call and e-mail, which websites you visit, how much 
you spend, where you work, fly and vacation, and much more. No judge has to 
approve the demand, a common check required on more typical 
subpoenas.
You'd never learn about the secret intrusion, 
either. It's all classified.
The public got a rare and troubling glimpse 
behind this curtain when The Washington Post reported Sunday that the FBI now 
issues thousands of National Security Letters a year. Each can seek many records 
on many people.
According to The Post and government 
documents, the Bush administration has quietly rewritten Justice Department 
rules so it can keep records indefinitely, even when they prove irrelevant to an 
investigation. The government can also share the records broadly, enabling the 
FBI to build what amounts to electronic dossiers on untold numbers of 
Americans.
The report added to a growing bipartisan 
backlash against several intrusive tools in the USA Patriot Act, which was 
rushed into law shortly after 9/11 to help combat terrorism. Because the process 
is largely hidden from the public, Congress and the judiciary, there is no broad 
assessment of how the tools are applied. But the few cases that have struggled 
into the light suggest extensive, secret intrusion into the lives of law-abiding 
people:
 Last summer, the FBI demanded records of 
everybody who used a specific computer at a Connecticut library. The FBI's 
letter, delivered by agents, warned the recipient not to disclose the demand "to 
any person" - seeming to cut him off even from a lawyer. Instead of complying, 
the Library Connection Inc., which provides computer services, filed suit, 
seeking to at least protest the FBI demand in public. Months later, the case is 
in a federal appeals court. Most of it remains sealed, and everyone involved is 
gagged.
 In December 2003, after intelligence reports 
hinted at a New Year's Eve attack in Las Vegas, the government launched a 
digital manhunt there using several tools, including National Security Letters. 
Investigators sought to capture the names of every tourist in Las Vegas and 
everyone who rented a car or truck or flew into the airport over several days. 
Today, long after the hunt proved fruitless, the record of each visitor's hotel 
stay is in government data banks, The Post reported.
 Last year, after an Internet provider 
challenged an FBI request for records, a federal judge in New York ruled that 
the letter violated the Constitution by giving the FBI unchecked powers to get 
private information. The claim of perpetual secrecy, the judge wrote, has "no 
place in our open society." The case is on appeal. 
No one argues with the need for far-reaching 
investigative tools to disrupt a terrorist plot. But such tools can become 
political weapons without scrutiny from judges and the public. Both are absent 
here.
The National Security Letters don't tell 
people they can challenge the demands in court. In fact, they direct people to 
tell no one that the FBI has sought the records. The Justice Department won't 
even reveal the number of letters it has issued, though it says the volume is 
substantially less than the 30,000 a year cited in The Post report.
Law enforcement's history of abusing some of 
its broad powers calls for caution. In the past, the FBI has used the Cold War 
or protests as excuses to spy on pacifist and civil rights groups. Today's war 
on terror can easily spawn new abuses.
Parts of the Patriot Act are up for 
renewal this fall. Congress has an opportunity - and certainly good reason - to 
place new limits on the FBI's powers. The war on terror doesn't have to become a 
war on the privacy and free speech of ordinary Americans.

[cia-drugs] Saddam Hussein's lawyer assassinated by men who used 'government vehicles'

Saddam
Hussein's lawyer assassinated by men who used 'government
vehicles'*** Yet another of the
lawyers representing the President of Iraq has been assassinated. This is what
happens to people who threaten those who hold power in the new Iraq. Eye-witness
reports confirm that the assassins used vehicles owned by the new Iraqi regime.
The US government will surely want to move the trial to a location where it can
be more carefully controlled, because evidence given by Saddam Hussein could
incriminate officials in the US and its closest allies including the UK, along
with all five permanent members of the UN Security Council. The US and others
know that evidence of serious crimes involving senior officials, many of whom
are still serving today particularly in the US and the "new Iraq", could be
revealed by Saddam Hussein's lawyers before or after the trial even if the whole
truth does not emerge in court.***Calls to move Saddam trial after
second lawyer killed Fresh doubts have been raised over the trial of
Saddam Hussein after a second defence lawyer was murdered in Baghdad.
Adel al-Zubeidi, representing the former vice-president Taha Yassin
Ramadan, was shot dead, and Thamir al-Khuzaie, a fellow member of the defence
team, was wounded in an ambush.This was the second killing of lawyers
who were acting for Saddam and seven other defendants. Saadoun al-Jananbi was
killed last month just days after appearing in the special court trying the case
in the Iraqi capital. Defence lawyers said afterwards that they may boycott the
proceedings until they are provided with adequate security.Mr Zubeidi
and Mr Khuzaie were attacked by three gunmen in Adil, a Sunni neighbourhood.
Khalil al-Dulaimi, Saddam's main lawyer, alleged that the shooting was done by
"an armed group using government vehicles".He said: "The aim of these
organised attacks is to scare Arab and foreign lawyers. We call upon the
international community to send a committee to investigate because the situation
is becoming unbearable."The case is due to recommence on 28 November.
But Richard Goldstone, the first prosecutor at the International Criminal
Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, said that the time had come to move the court.
He said: "I don't understand how you can have a fair trial in this atmosphere of
insecurity with bombs going off. It is just impossible to have a public trial if
you can't guarantee the safety of witnesses, judges or defence counsel."

November 2005.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4421912.stm The chief lawyer for Saddam Hussein has said the former
Iraqi leader's defence team will cease dealings with the court trying him for
crimes against humanity. ... Khalil
al-Dulaimi said that defence lawyers were unable work when their safety was
threatened. He also said defence witnesses were too frightened to
come forward. "The defence committee has decided to consider the 28
November date [for the next hearing] cancelled and illegitimate," Mr Dulaimi
told Reuters. Mr Dulaimi also told reporters that he blamed US-led
forces in Iraq for the killings. "The occupation forces are
responsible for this criminal incident, and they bear the responsibility of
preserving the lives of the people regardless of their identity."

[cia-drugs] Blair wins historic victory as new UK anti-terror laws are approved






Blair wins 
historic victory as new UK anti-terror laws are 
approvedThe British regime achieved 
a major victory in parliament yesterday, successfully passing a new anti-terror 
bill containing an extensive package of new and increased powers for the 
authorities and new and increased restrictions on the 
public.Unfortunately, few ordinary people in the UK are aware of the 
changes approved yesterday by their elected representatives, because to date 
they have been barely mentioned in the mass media. How many of them can you 
list? One of the new laws approved yesterday was a ban on the "glorification" of 
terrorism. But how many people are aware of this? Were you? You would not find 
it easy to learn this fact by reading the newspapers in Britain today.In 
an impressive exercise of mass deception, the mass media in the UK are 
universally portraying this as a historic "defeat", and indeed this is the top 
story in every mass media news outlet in the country today, on TV, on the radio 
and in the press, without exception. So powerful is the message from the mass 
media that even alternative outlets for news and commentary, most notably the 
independent blogs and web sites, have seized on the news as a story about the 
"defeat" of new anti-terror laws. We are unable to find a single example, apart 
from the article that you are now reading, that highlights government's success 
in passing a major new anti-terror new bill with virtually no amendments. If 
this is how we define "defeat" or failure, surely success would require a 
dictatorship.In reality, the "defeat" described by the mass media is 
nothing more than a slight change to one part of one point in the long list of 
proposals advanced by the government -- namely the infamous "90 days" proposal, 
which was reduced to a month instead of six months. This proposal would 
literally give policemen the power to sentence people to six-months in prison 
without evidence, without a trial or an opportunity to defend against the 
charge, in fact without even charging the prisoner with any 
crime.Everybody knew that the 90-day proposal would be controversial, 
but starting negotiations artificially high in order to achieve the desired 
target while letting the other side claim some sense of victory is a very 
well-known tactic. In politics this strategy is especially useful, because a 
particularly controversial proposal causes arguments that distract from the real 
issue. The mass media seem happy to play along.The range of opinion 
expressed in the mass media on this topic is narrow and limited even by the 
usual standards. At the pro-government end of the spectrum, as usual there is 
extreme outrage and actual anger that the government was not simply allowed to 
do whatever it wanted unopposed. As for the so-called "opposition", it was 
entirely limited to applauding this so-called "defeat", while no concern 
whatsoever was expressed for the proposals that were passed successfully, if 
these were mentioned at all, and in most cases they were not 
mentioned.In a comprehensive sample of the British press this morning, 
The Sun and the Daily Mail provide typical examples of the frame in which this 
major news story has been presented. The front page of The Sun led with a large 
red title "TERROR BILL DEFEAT" followed by an even bigger one-word headline 
spanning the entire width of the page: "TRAITORS". At the foot of the page, 
beneath a big picture of the British Prime Minister looking patriotic but hurt, 
was an ominous warning: "Evil Bakri vows to return to UK thanks to by craven 
MPs" falsely suggesting that the "radical" Muslim's decision to return to 
Britain after visiting the Middle East is in some way connected to Blair's 
parliamentary "defeat". The Sun, a popular tabloid "newspaper" is read by more 
Britons than any other tabloid, with more readers each day than all national 
broadsheet newspapers combined. The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also 
owns Fox News in the USA, a TV news channel with equal bias and lack of 
integrity.The front page of the Daily Mail also reported the "historic 
defeat", followed by extensive discussion and commentary. With major articles on 
pages 6, 7, 8, 9 and 14 covering Blair's commons "defeat", it is a remarkable 
achievement of journalism that the Daily Mail succeeded in failing to mentioning 
any of the many new anti-terror proposals that parliament DID approve yesterday 
-- There was not so much as a single word on any page even mentioning any of 
these essential details. The British public could be forgiven for 
concluding based on today's headlines that no new laws were passed because of 
this "defeat". Witness how voters are informed about politics in this 
"democracy".FURTHER READINGDaily Mirror, "MPs reject terror

[cia-drugs] Did U.S. government lie about deadly virus?






Did U.S. government 
lie about deadly virus?Nov. 9, 2005World Science 
staffhttp://www.world-science.net/othernews/051109_flufrm.htmU.S. officials seem to have quietly reversed an assurance they gave 
publiclylast month-that a deadly virus, which scientists recently recreated, 
wouldnot leave a secure government facility.Terrence Tumpey, a 
microbiologist at the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention, examines 
reconstructed 1918 Pandemic Influenza Virus inside aspecimen vial. (Courtesy 
CDC)Now, authorities acknowledge they may mail copies of the germ, which 
killedan estimated 50 million people in 1918, to qualified laboratories that 
applyfor it.The apparent flip-flop suggests the initial assurance 
might have been a lie,or deception, meant to calm a nervous public about the 
risky project, says adirector of an anti-biological weapons 
organization.But U.S. officials say they didn't mislead 
anyone.Scientists and government officials announced last month that 
they haddesigned a virus identical in most key respects to the infamous 
1918"Spanish Flu" virus.The project's stated purpose was to let 
scientists study the virus andthereby design vaccines against related 
pathogens, including a bird flu thatis alarming governments 
worldwide.But some experts expressed doubts from the start about the 
venture's safety.They said the virus could accidentally escape or land in 
terrorist hands.In response to such concerns, officials with the Centers 
for Disease Controland Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Ga., a U.S. agency, said 
the virus would beheld securely at the agency's headquarters, and wouldn't 
be sent elsewherefor research, according to some news reports.The 
San Francisco Chronicle reported on Oct. 6 that Jennifer Morcone, 
aspokeswoman for the agency, had given such an assurance. If researchers 
fromoutside the agency want to work with the virus, the paper quoted her 
assaying, "We will consider hosting researchers at the CDC if they go 
throughthe same training and clearances required of our 
researchers."The research journal Nature reported similar assurances by 
the officials.The Chicago Tribune cited CDC Director Julie Gerberding saying 
the agencyhad no plans to share the virus with other labs.The 
apparent reversal, when it came, was quiet.It appeared in the form of a 
cryptic notice-which the agency was legallyrequired to publish-in the Oct. 
20 Federal Register, the officialpublication of federal government 
notices.It said the agency would add the virus to a "list of select 
agents andtoxins" maintained by the Department of Health and Human 
Services.Basically, this means the virus can be mailed out, agency 
spokesman VonRoebuck acknowledged, according to a news article in the Nov. 
10 Nature."Labs that are registered to work with select agents-in 
particular,dangerous pathogens that are subject to specific handling 
rules-will be ableto request the virus," Nature reported, citing Roebuck. 
The parcels couldtravel via commercial carriers, the journal added.A 
staff member who answered the phone at the CDC's media relations office 
onTuesday told World Science that the agency hasn't announced the new 
policypublicly, as far as he knows.The staffer, who identified 
himself as Chris Cox, referred further questionsto Roebuck. Roebuck said in 
an emailed statement to World Science that theagency didn't mislead anyone, 
because officials said only that they were notplanning on sending out the 
virus.He didn't deny it would ever happen, though. "Requests to obtain 
the virusfor investigations at non-CDC laboratories that advance the science 
andunderstanding of influenza pandemics will be considered on a 
case-by-casebasis," he wrote, adding that such mailings follow strict safety 
procedures.The policy dismayed the project's critics.Edward 
Hammond, director of the U.S. office of the Sunshine Project, anon-profit 
group that works against chemical and biological weapons useage,said he 
wasn't sure whether the agency's original statement was a lie."Did they 
lie, as in did they know that they were going to flip this policywithin a 
week? I don't know-it's difficult to tell, but they certainly in myjudgment 
deceived," he said.On the other hand, he said, any expert on the subject 
would have known thatthe policy as originally stated was "a fiction to begin 
with." That'sbecause even without the mailing, anyone with the right 
equipment could havereconstructed the virus using the information released 
as part of theproject.The no-mailing claim "was a red herring from 
the get-go," he said. "It wasintended to reassure, when they knew that the 
assurance that most peoplewould draw from it was based on a 
misunderstanding."But the policy change raises the dangers still 
further, said Jens Kuhn, aresearch scholar at Harvard Medical 
School."There's a big risk associated with it," he said. He added that

[cia-drugs] Malaysian Bloggers Under Attack: An Online Psyops?







 Are Malaysian bloggers being 
bombarded with "seditious" posts to create a New Online Order? What is Harvard 
University's role in regulating global voices? 
 
MALAYSIAN BLOGGERS UNDER ATTACK: AN ONLINE 
PSYOPS?
By Mathew Maavak 
 
It was only a matter of time before the ruling powers in Kuala Lumpur began 
their assault on the only public domain in Malaysia - the Internet. 
While all kinds of dissent, opinions and rants are taken for granted in a 
freer society, here the advent of the Internet provided not a new lease of life, 
but a hitherto unknown life of mass, communicable grassroots opinion. 
For the uninitiated, here is a brief on the Malaysian media scene: We are a 
controlled democracy with a controlled mass media. Even live soccer matches are 
delayed by a few minutes, in case David Beckham does something subversive by 
scoring a goal. Dig that? 
Before the Internet era, we had to rely on the sycophantic drivels of 
government-controlled dailies, now pretty much purchased for their ads. If you 
want to know where the sales are, thats the right forum, one for the 
intelligentsia of discounts. 
The net offered Malaysians an anonymity from personal peril. Emails at major 
firms are regularly monitored - like elsewhere in the world - and if you were 
found contributing potent nuggets to the public domain, one that might damage 
the corporate-political nexus, you wont get the sack. Sacks are stuffy and they 
are noticeable; the cold storage of a dead end career is regarded more merciful. 

While you are in deep freeze, you can spend time reading books, especially 
those penned by historys finest writers, some of whom had resorted to noms 
de plume to avoid persecution. Through their anonymity their works survived 
and they are quoted in Malaysian universities, where lecturers and students have 
a fair chance - emphasis needed - of understanding what was written, 
unless the inherent ideas are lifted from the Internet, especially from 
ultra-leftist publications which subtly proclaim: US is Satan. 
And here I must digress for perspectives. 
For those writers who subscribe to this lunatic, monomaniacal philosophy, can 
you kindly migrate to Riyadh, Amman or Islamabad and exchange places with the 
likes of me? Your women will be treated well there. You will enjoy great 
freedom, including gay rights. You will be allowed to prohibit the Quran from 
schools or any public spot. Never take the copout clause of retaining your 
Western passports. There are people around who want a global, free exchange of 
citizenry; a tit for tat systematic UN Charter for the Disgrunled! This one 
would be an improvement to the toothless UN Charters on fundamental rights that 
cannot be applied to the oil-rich Middle East. 
And as for Satan, he cannot be confined to one place. The horned one loves to 
hover over capitals, stock markets, on the Internet, and in the minds of 
anarchists and jihadists. If you want to kiss Osama bin Ladens ass, go ahead 
and enjoy the Crawford Cowboys one as well. They are indeed conjoined butts, 
bonded together by terror. 
Digression and rant over. Back to Malaysians. 
The potency of the Internet can be likened to the separate windows on our 
screens. Anyone, anywhere could compare different worlds, and the local one was 
found to be intolerably repressive. Malaysians began to express 
unfiltered demands for a little meritocracy, freedom of speech, and 
government/corporate transparency. In fact, the online media thrived on these 
topics, all watered down and cautious, despite the ostensible, protective garb 
of anonymity. The posts were still better than the lopsided exposes of the mass 
media. Blogs were also driving down the relevancy of news contents in major 
dailies, and more importantly, their profit margins. 
Exposing corruption here can get you into trouble. Thinking intelligently can 
get you into trouble as well. Our political and corporate leaders are a 
hypersensitive lot and they do make George W. Bush look like a real man despite 
him dodging the Vietnam War. After all, doesnt he allow criticisms and 
conspiracy theories to flourish in his nation? Dick Cheneys daughter can be 
reported to be a lesbian. Try that here and the courts will nail you for 
defamation. Your evidence is always irrelevant, a common retort used by the 
judge in Anwar Ibrahims sodomy and corruption trial. Years later, after a new 
administration took over, the courts cleared him of these charges. Only Dr

[cia-drugs] The new National Intelligence Strategy of the United States: Towards an even more dangerous international security apparatus

The new National
Intelligence Strategy of the United States:
Towards an even more dangerous international
security apparatus

by Larry Chin

October 29, 2005

GlobalResearch.ca
On Wednesday, October 27, 2005, the new National Intelligence Strategy of
the United States was released by the Director of National Intelligence, terrorist and war
criminal John Negroponte. (download the full document is here, see the official press
release here).
The documents foreword, written by Negroponte, immediately
states that the Strategy is based on the "new concept of national intelligence
codified by the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act passed by Congress in 2004", its origins
in the "tragedy of September 11, 2001", and President George W. Bushs National
Security Strategy of the United States".
In other words, the Strategy is a strengthening and
solidification of the existing Homeland/National Security apparatus into a more
centralized structure (with more power and control in the hands of the Executive
Branch), consolidating multiple agencies, including the CIA. The objectives are
unchanged, based on the original 9/11/ "war on terrorism" construct, and further
inspired ("codified") by the 9/11
Commission whitewash and other more recent variations on 9/11-pretext
"anti-terrorism".
Brimming with Orwellian language and bureaucrat-speak, the
Strategy promises a lot of the same "war on terrorism"---and what is not the
same is worse.
The Strategys "mission objectives" are:
1. Defeat "terrorists" at home and abroad by disarming their
operational capabilities and seizing the initiative from them by promoting the
growth of freedom and democracy. [note the emphasis on "at home"LC]
2. Prevent and counter the spread of WMDs.
3. Bolster growth of democracy. This includes the "support of
diplomatic and military efforts (including pre-and post-conflict) where
intervention is necessary".
4. Develop innovative ways to penetrate and analyze the most
difficult targets [the unnamed "targets" are characterized as "tough adversaries
that know a great deal about our intelligence system"LC]
5. Anticipate developments of "strategic concern".
In an analysis of the new Strategy by the Washington
Post's Walter Pincus, the renewed emphasis on "bolstering democracies in
foreign country" and working with/through foreign intelligence services are new,
according to two former senior intelligence officers queried by Pincus. But
given the fact that "soft power" intelligence and covert operations are as old
as the "tradecraft" itself.
In the same vein, the establishment of "new and strengthened
relationships with foreign intelligence services, according to Pincus, "appears
to conflict with goals recently set by CIA Director Porter Goss, who told his
agency he wants to increase unilateral human intelligence collection and reduce
reliance on foreign liason relationships." The truth, in contrast to Pincus
suggestion, is that beefed up unilateral and foreign human intelligence are not
(and never have been) mutually exclusive.
What the new Strategy does suggest is that the bellicose
"go-it-alone" approach of the scandal-ridden Bush administration has become a
political liability, which has forced a renewed emphasis on less overt/more
subtle methods of intervention, more reliance on foreign agencies, fronts and
proxies, and better plausible deniability. This is nothing new. It is an
opportunistic return to "classic" methods.
This adjustment in style does not change or derail the "mission
objectives" that have been in place since 9/11. If anything, it heralds an even
more dangerous, slicker, and more potent international police apparatus, bigger
than ever, led by a master of terrorism in Negroponte.
Elsewhere, the Strategy lays out ten goals, or "enterprise
objectives", focusing on the restructuring of the national intelligence
bureaucracy. The recommendations include the steps pushed by the corrupt and
fraudulent 9/11
Commission whitewash (also see this
analysis). The Strategy also (in laughably self-conscience wordage) calls
for "human source collection with the highest traditions of professionalism and
intellectual prowess".
If successfully executed, the elimination of inter-agency
conflict could result in an international clandestine force of unprecedented
reach and depth.

One of the most pernicious aspects of the Strategy is the
official sanction of something that has been in the works throughout 2005: the
unleashing of the National Clandestine
Service, headed by CIA Director Porter Goss.
A deepening of the national security apparatus into every
corner of the nation is made explicit, under the enterprise objective of
"expanding reporting of information and intelligence value from state, local
and tribal law enforcement entities and private sector stakeholders". The
United States, already a police state, will now be officially and thoroughly
infested down to

[cia-drugs] Bush humiliated as movement rebuffs FTAA

Bush humiliated as movement rebuffs
FTAA
By David Hoskins
Published Nov 10, 2005 12:39 AM

U.S. President George W. Bush received a chilly reception in the
seaside city of Mar del Plata, Argentina, on Nov. 4-5. The chill came
from his fellow presidents at an historic two-day summit meeting of
leaders from 34 states in the Western Hemisphere, with socialist Cuba
excluded.

In the streets of the city and the soccer stadium, however, the
reception was hotter. Tens of thousands of Argentineans and other Latin
Americans trashed Bush and the so-called Free Trade Agreement of the
Americas (FTAA) while cheering Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and the
memory of the legendary revolutionary Che Guevara, himself an
Argentinean.

The Fourth Summit of the Americas convened on Nov. 4 under the
ambitious title of “Creating Jobs to Fight Poverty and Strengthen
Democratic Governance.”

The U.S. ruling class, still smarting from its failure to win
meaningful international and domestic support for its colonial
adventure in Iraq and its inability to defeat the Iraqi resistance, had
hoped to use the summit to advance its goal of strengthening and
extending neo-colonial relations throughout Latin America.

For Bush, whose administration represents the interests of U.S.
transnational capital, the meeting provided an opportunity to seek
hemispheric consensus for the FTAA. This trade agreement models itself
on relations, like those in the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA), that have proved disastrous for the economies of
underdeveloped and developing countries.

As early as March of this year the U.S. government publicly revealed
that it would not hesitate to use FTAA as a vehicle to undermine the
national sovereignty of countries that resist imperialist maneuvers in
the hemisphere.

During a speech at the Harvard Club, U.S. Ambassador to Argentina Lino
Gutierrez praised Argentina for working to send “troops to Haiti and
trying to help assure the survival of a democratic system in Venezuela
and Bolivia.” Gutierrez further speculated that Argentina’s assistance
in supporting the FTAA would reaffirm the two countries’ shared “belief
in the free market system as a vehicle to … upholding democracy.”

The “democracy” that Gutierrez speaks of includes U.S.-sponsored
kidnappings and coups, as in Haiti, Chile and Guate mala, meant to
ensure that only governments friendly to the objectives of imperialism
control the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Legacy of ‘free’ trade proves ominous

NAFTA was implemented in 1994 when Democrat President Bill Clinton was
in office. It aimed at eliminating all trade barriers between Canada,
the United States and Mexico by 2009. NAFTA has shown it is detri
mental to workers in all three countries who are struggling to maintain
basic labor rights, social programs and public ser vices against the
attacks of unfettered capital.

A recent study conducted by the Eco nomic Policy Institute demonstrates
that over 1 million manufacturing jobs in the United States and Canada
have been lost as a result of NAFTA. According to the EPI report, the
results for Mexico’s workforce have been equally devastating:
manufacturing workers are now earning 21 percent less, salaried workers
earn 25 percent less and the purchasing power of the Mexican minimum
wage is now worth only half of its 1994 value.

Millions of Mexican workers and their families live in abject poverty
in the slums surrounding the maquiladora industries along the U.S.
border, which have grown sharply following the implementation of NAFTA.

The failures of NAFTA spurred a decade of resistance to “free trade” on
the part of the workers and oppressed, who bear the brunt of the
declining living standards and environmental contamination that are the
result of unregulated corporate dom ination. This resistance ranged
from the armed rebellion that broke out in the southern Mexican state
of Chiapas just after the signing of NAFTA, through the
anti-globalization upsurge in Seattle in 1999 and on from there.

Now Bush has discovered on the streets of Mar del Plata that the legacy
of militant resistance is alive and well.

Bush versus Che

A two-pronged people’s movement battled the FTAA in the streets and
behind the barricades, as well as at the summit meetings. One Latin
American president fought to ensure that the summit remained true to
its announced theme of creating jobs, fighting poverty and encouraging
democratic governance: Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who proved a
forceful opponent to FTAA at the summit.

President Chávez lobbied against FTAA behind closed doors and publicly
supported the demonstrators during his address to 50,000 FTAA opponents
during a counter-summit at the city’s main soccer stadium. Chávez’
public comments revealed the level of resistance Bush and other U.S.
diplomats faced. “Every one of us has brought a shovel, because Mar del
Plata is going to be the t

[cia-drugs] Al-Qaida Links Jordan Bombings to Iraq War

 Al-Qaida Links Jordan Bombings to Iraq War
Nov 10 7:57 AM US/Eastern
 Email this story

By JAMAL HALABY
Associated Press Writer


AMMAN, Jordan


Al-Qaida claimed responsibility Thursday for three suicide bomb 
attacks on Western hotels that killed at least 56 people, linking 
the deadly blasts to the war in Iraq and calling Amman the "backyard 
garden" for U.S. operations. Police continued a broad security 
lockdown and authorities sent DNA samples for testing to identify 
the attackers. Land borders were reopened after being closed for 
nearly 12 hours. 

Government spokesman Bassel Tarawneh lowered the death toll by one, 
citing confusion in the early hours after the blasts. He said the 
number was likely to rise slightly. 



He said the victims included 15 Jordanians, five Iraqis, one Saudi, 
one Palestinian, three Chinese, one Indonesian; 30 others hadn't 
been identified. 

The nearly simultaneous attacks late Wednesday also wounded more 
than 115 people, police said. They detained several people 
overnight, although it was unclear if those being held were of 
suspects or witnesses. 

The al-Qaida claim, posted on a militant Internet site, said Jordan 
became a target because it was "a backyard garden for the enemies of 
the religion, Jews and crusaders ... a filthy place for the 
traitors ... and a center for prostitution." The authenticity of the 
posting could not be independently verified, but it appeared on an 
Islamic Web site that acts as a clearing house for statements by 
militant groups. 

The claim of responsibility, signed in the name of the spokesman for 
Al-Qaida in Iraq, said the attacks put the United States on notice 
that the "backyard camp for the crusader army is now in the range of 
fire of the holy warriors." 

Iraqi government spokesman Laith Kubba said the attack should alert 
Jordan that it needed to stop playing host to former members of 
Saddam Hussein's regime. 

"I hope that these attacks will wake up the `Jordanian street' to 
end their sympathy with Saddam's remnants ... who exploit the 
freedom in this country to have a safe shelter to plot their 
criminal acts against Iraqis ." 

He also said Iraqis may have had a hand in the attacks. 

"The al-Qaida organization has become as a plague that affected Iraq 
and is now transmitted by the same rats to other countries. A lot of 
Iraqis, especially former intelligence and army officers, joined 
this criminal cell," Kubba said. 

Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher said shortly after the 
blasts that al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was 
a "prime suspect." The Jordanian-born al-Zarqawi is known for his 
animosity to the country's Hashemite monarchy. The claim of 
responsibility did not name King Abdullah II but twice referred to 
the "tyrant of Jordan." 

In the attacks, the suicide bombers detonated explosives at the 
Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels just before 9 p.m. One 
of the explosions took place inside a hall where 300 guests were 
celebrating a wedding. 

Until late Wednesday, Amman _ a comfortable, hilly city of white 
stone villas and glitzy high-rises _ had mostly avoided large-scale 
attacks and was a welcome sanctuary of stability in a troubled 
region. 

Al-Zarqawi is most known for the string of devastating suicide 
attacks launched in Iraq, often against U.S. targets but also 
against Shiite Iraqis. He has shown a flair for propaganda and drawn 
wide support among militants in the region. 

But outside Iraq, and especially in Jordan, he has been equally 
active. 

He was sentenced to death in absentia by a Jordanian military court 
for the October 2002 assassination of a U.S. diplomat, Laurence 
Foley, in Amman. 

His group also is accused of previously trying to blow up the 
Radisson SAS in Amman as part of the so-called Millennium plot in 
1999 and of an attack this August on a U.S. Navy ship in the 
Jordanian port of Aqaba that killed one Jordanian soldier. In Amman, 
a security official said authorities had tips on suspects who are 
being hunted, including possible sleeper cells or individuals who 
may have assisted the attackers and later fled in a vehicle bearing 
Iraqi license plates. 

The official, insisting on anonymity because he is not allowed to 
speak to reporters, said that DNA tests were being carried out to 
determine the identity of the perpetrators, including two suicide 
bombers who blew themselves up in two of the separate hotel attacks. 
A third suicide attacker used a car. 

The state Jordan Television showed Abdullah inspecting the sites of 
the blasts after returning home early Thursday, cutting short an 
official visit to Kazakhstan. He later presided over a meeting of 
his security chiefs, including police and intelligence. 

The hotels, frequented by Israelis and Americans among other foreign 
guests, have long been on al-Qaida's hit list.
